The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 503 Welcome Baby Party

Ellie was scratching her head, totally confused. After a bit, Molly stormed back into the room. "Sebastian, get your butt out here!" She was fuming again.

Ellie glanced at Sebastian, who was trying not to laugh. "Go on, man. See what Molly's losing it over this time. She's using your full name." Sebastian got up and headed out.

In the hospital hallway, Molly's face was bright red with anger. "Vera never said that!"

Sebastian shrugged. "Really? Maybe I'm just getting old and my memory's playing tricks on me."

"Sebastian!" Molly growled, clenching her teeth. He had tricked her into spilling her true feelings!

Molly felt like biting Sebastian like a piece of candy.

Over at Cherry Villa, Patrick had already taken Theodore back to the bedroom and was waiting for Vera to come and give him a piece of her mind.

"Patrick, you're full of it. Molly never said those things about me!"

Her voice was so loud it woke up Theodore, who started crying, scared by Vera's outburst.

Vera quickly scooped up Theodore, patting him while shooting daggers at Patrick. "You're such a jerk. Tonight, you're sleeping alone. We're still in separate rooms!"

They were supposed to patch things up, but thanks to these two guys fishing for compliments, they ended up pushing everyone away.

Later, Shawn swung by Cherry Villa to see Theodore. "Vera, we're about to have a welcome party for baby Theodore. Have you and Patrick sorted everything out? Got your dress? Sent the invites? Figured out the decorations?" "Hold up!" Vera raised her hand to stop him. She looked at Shawn. "Dad, slow down. I'll grab a pen and write this down."

Shawn asked, "You haven't done any of it?"

Vera felt a bit guilty. "It's my first time being a mom. I'm kinda clueless about this stuff. Patrick and I haven't talked much lately 'cause we've been arguing. He didn't remind me either." Shawn sighed, "If you were at our place, Cindy and I could've helped you with all this."

Shawn held the sleeping Theodore on his lap. As he talked, Vera jotted down everything.

For the first time, Shawn felt pretty proud of himself, knowing all the details.

Vera felt a bit embarrassed, realizing she'd wasted so much time at home.

"Theodore's clothes need to be top-notch too," Vera said.

"Right, Teddy's, and also Brianna's and Warren's. Our whole family's outfits need to be custom-made," Shawn replied.

Vera nodded and quickly wrote it down.

Shawn added, "Patrick doesn't need custom clothes. He looks good in anything. Just pick something from his closet."

Vera put down her pen. "No way. On Theodore's big day, Patrick and I need to be in matching outfits. Otherwise, how will people know we're a couple?"

Shawn, not worried about Vera and Theodore splitting up, asked, "Haven't you thought that if you make Patrick look too good, other women might start eyeing him?"

Vera said, "Dad, do you really think that even if I dressed Patrick in rags, his looks and charm would be any less?"

Shawn replied, "Good point."

Shawn kept looking at Theodore to pass the time. The more he looked, the more he was smitten with Theodore, even when he was asleep. "It's all thanks to our good genes. Look at Theodore, with his chubby cheeks, smooth skin, and that baby smell. Even when he's sleeping, he's got his little fists clenched. This little guy is definitely gonna be more handsome than me."

Vera shot back, "That shouldn't be too tough."

Around seven, Patrick rolled in.

Shawn had dinner at Patrick's place that night and then took off.

Later, Vera noticed an extra ten million bucks in her account, so she took Theodore back to the master bedroom.

Finally, she could catch some decent sleep.

That night, Vera and Patrick were chilling against the headboard. Vera was looking over her notes.

Patrick leaned over and peeked at them. "Hand me that sheet. You don't need to stress about the rest."

He'd been thinking about Theodore's newborn party too and was planning to chat with Vera about it. Turns out, she was already on it.

"No way, babe. If I don't handle it, you will. You're swamped all day, juggling the company and the family, and you still have to deal with me. It's not easy. Let me take care of Theodore's stuff," Vera said.

Patrick looked at the suddenly responsible Vera and grinned. "There are some things you can't do."

Vera glanced at her list. Besides what Shawn had mentioned, she had done some research and added more stuff.

Vera looked at her notes. "Yeah, there are some things I can't handle. How about we split the tasks? I don't know many hotel folks, so you handle that. My social circle's tiny, so you do the invites. I don't drink, so you handle the booze. I'll take care of the clothes, planning, photographer, and cake."

Patrick listened to her organized plan.

Every time Vera got serious, she surprised him.

"Security for the day." Vera frowned.

Patrick said, "I'll handle that too."

"Cool." Vera beamed.

Patrick added, "We should have multiple sets of dresses. On the day of the party, we need to avoid color clashes, similar styles, and other unexpected stuff that might need a change of dress. So, have a backup dress ready." Vera thought Patrick was spot on. She replied, "Got it."

Vera admired Patrick even more. "Babe, after I graduate, can I work for you?"

"Are you sure?" Patrick asked.

Vera gave a flirty smile. "Afraid I'll seduce you at the office?"

Patrick pulled Vera close, pressing her down and kissing her. "Vera, if I hold out a bit longer, we can get it on."

Vera blushed. "Talking about this at night, aren't you embarrassed?"

Patrick's seductive voice whispered in Vera's ear. "I don't believe you don't want it."

She playfully pushed him away. "Get lost, you're annoying."

Later, Brianna helped Vera contact a designer, and Cindy often came to Cherry Villa to help Vera pick out the invitations.

At the hospital, Molly stayed with Ellie. Even though Ellie could be discharged, the whole family decided to keep her there. Bella's and Stella's families stopped bothering Molly's peaceful life.

Only Abby occasionally ruined Molly's good mood.
